Description:
I first met General Groove when I added him to discuss about a trade he had on TF2OP: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9006703. I was interested in his Stormy Storm Noble Amassment of Hat, and asked him exactly what he wanted. We eventually agreed on a deal, and I got to work and traded for everything he wanted. Once I had everything, we simply traded. Some time later, he comments on my profile and says that he has another "mission" for me. When he came online, we started talking about his "mission." What he wanted, was 3 pairs of Summer Shades, and 3 Merc's Mufflers, and 2 sets of 3 specific Halloween spells including Spectral Spectrum, Chromatic Corruption, and Die Job. In the end, the deal was, 3 pre-wrapped Summer Shades, 3 Merc's Mufflers with each painted 1 of each Halloween spells, and another set of Halloween spells to paint the Summer Shades for an Unusual Stormy Storm Noble Amassment of Hat, a TS Bill's, Summer Shades (my gift wrap), a "genuine mullet thing that recently became tradable," (I assume he was talking about the Brutal Bouffant) a Merc's Muffler (not shown in images because he msg'd me that on while I was on my computer, and since he blocked me, I can't retrieve that line of msg anymore), and a couple hats. Once again, I worked on completing his wishlist, and I acquired everything we wanted. We first traded the 3 pairs of pre-wrapped Shades, and 3 Merc's Muffler's painted a Halloween spell for the Unusual Noble and a Bill's painted Die Job. He realized that he traded the wrong Bill's Hat, and we retraded and exchanged the Die Job Bill's Hat for the TS Bill's hat. A couple days later, we traded again, but this time I logged into my alternate account "Igwanah." I told him to just trade me the rest of the items when I switch back to my main account since it would save time. I traded the 3 spells, and when the trade was complete, he msg'd me "brb" and blocked me. At first, I didn't realize that I was being blocked as this was the first time I was being blocked. According to the steam chat, General Groove was offline, but when I looked at his profile, he was online. I was confused and thought it was just a bug, and tried commenting on his profile, but found there was no comment box. I was unable to reach him via steam, and this happened for both my alternate account and my main account. The next day after seeing that he was still online, but appeared offline in my friendslist, I became seriously concerned and finally concluded that I have been blocked. I added both of his 2 close friends and asked them about the situation. I have screenshots for only one conversation. Both friends knew about the deal I had with Groove, and I asked them about him blocking me. The two people I added was BlackPhoenix (http://steamcommunity.com/id/DigitalJustice) and Shutup and Jive (http://steamcommunity.com/id/ShutupandJive). I added these two people, because of the comments I saw on BlackPhoenix's profile. General Groove told me that he was looking for the shades and mercs because he and 2 other supposedly close friends wanted to create a group loadout. General Groove also said that the circle of friends bought each other games. Adding them proved my thoughts correct since they perfectly knew about the deal. One of the friends responded to me in a suspicious way as shown in the screenshots, and so did the other, but I do not have screenshots for the other.

In total, General Groove took my 3 Halloween spells (Spectral Spectrum, Chromatic Corruption, & Die Job), and 1 gift wrap without fully paying his side of the deal.

I apologize if this report does not contain a sufficient amount of information. I will try to add to the report if needed.

I'm really confused, doesn't this screenshot show him giving you the unusual?

Yes, he traded me the unusual, but did not trade me the rest of the items we had agreed on after I traded him gift wrap for his Summer Shades, and the 3 Halloween spells.

When reporting scammers in the future, your thread title should be in this format:

Thank you.

That sure was a lot of screenshots.
